Hi!

On NUMA systems networking drivers want to allocate rings
and buffers close to the NAPI-handling core rather than
allocating all from where the device is connected.

Looks like we have accumulated 6 drivers which do:

       set_dev_node(dma_dev, numa_node);
       va = dma_alloc_coherent(...);
       set_dev_node(dma_dev, old_node);

Introduce dma_alloc_coherent_node() so that such racy
hacks are no longer necessary.

Note that making dma_map_ops->alloc() callbacks explicit-node-aware
is left for future work.

Stable tag on top of v7.4-rc1, so that we can also pull this into
the networking tree:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kuba/linux.git tags/dma_alloc_coherent_node

v1:
 - add the API first, then wire up the node in dma-direct, iommu-dma
   and CMA (Robin)
 - add dma_direct_alloc_node() and keep dma_direct_alloc() as a wrapper,
   swiotlb-xen uses it as its ->alloc (fixes the build on arm/arm64),
   arch/x86 no longer needs changes
 - docs: drop the NUMA_NO_NODE suggestion from dma-api.rst (Björn)
 - docs: document that CMA does not fall back to other nodes' areas (Björn)
 - docs: document which allocations ignore the node
 - explain the separate GPL-only export in the commit message (Marek)
